A wise man once said that we’re currently in the midst of the most wonderful time of the year. Whoever that man was probably had a Best Buy somewhere near his house. Right now is glorious because we get to ogle dope gadgets with a slight glimmer of hope that there’s somebody in this world that loves us enough to fill out our tech gadgety, nerdy fantasies.

And for those of you unable to condense your massive wish list to a few choice items, I’m here to help you out. Here are five can’t miss items you need to complete your Holiday wish list.

The PS3 had always been able to have a one-up selling point over the XBOX: the Blu-Ray player.
=============================================
That and built in Wifi, FREE online gameplay, more exclusive titles, better graphics…..wait, what were the benefits of buying an XBox again? Hahahahahaha!!!!

@ DS: Kinect: LMFAO! Dude, I play sports and action games, not Just Dance. My PS3 stays on overworked right now between Madden 12, FIFA 12 and Castlevania: Lord of Shadows. My little bro has both systems so whenever I go to his crib I can play XBox exclusive titles.

ps: No laptops in this Holiday guide? I need some recommendations since my desktop croaked (RIP) a month ago. I’m NEVER fucking buying Dell ever again.

I don’t play XBOX at all. My son plays the Kinect. And the PS3 is getting retired soon. Sad, I know.
And Flea, if you want a reliable laptop brand, Dell is cool, but you gotta get their higher end models. Try Asus, Acer, Sony, Lenovo, and Apple. IBMs are ok too.
Stay away from Gateway, HP, Compaq, and Toshiba. They are cheaper for a reason!

for some reason with blu ray I always have some kind of issue…like it gets stuck in a loop loading some cool animation before the movie starts…I dunno lol plus I feel like they have too many stupid features I just wanna watch the movie in high ass quality

@ DS: IBM doesn’t make laptops anymore, they sold the business to Lenovo a few years back. Like I said, I was considering a Sony Vaio after playing around with one at Best Buy. One of my ninjaz said that I should just build my own desktop but I’m just too damn lazy to put in the extra effort right now! lol

Bought my first Blu-ray player in 08 and as most of you know, there is absolutely NO comparison between it and DVD (it is like VHS vs. DVD). The first movie I ever purchased and watched on it was The Dark Knight. And I kid you not; it was clearer and crisper than when I saw it in the theater. Second was No Country For Old Men and the detail was incredible. There are some movies that do not benefit at all from Blu-ray (i.e. Wanted – but the director said he was looking for a gritty end result look from the jump – should have copped it on regular DVD had I known that), and some were overrated (i.e. Sunshine was supposed to be the best Blu-ray experience ever – that was not the case at all), but even a lot of DVD’s look Blu-ray quality on a Blu-ray player. I cannot believe 3 years later some folks have never watched a single Blu-ray film.

The only downside to a Blu-ray player? The load times. But I heard that has changed – I need to replace mine anyway. I have a Roku and Wii for Netflix, but need a player with Wi-Fi built in. Just have to select the right one.
